If you want to install or upgrade the electrical and water systems in your villas, offices, buildings, or construction or renovation projects, then it is essential to have a Dubia Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) Approval. Atech Interiors is a leading company that specializes in providing DEWA approvals for commercial and residential projects. Let us discuss DEWA and our services in detail!
What is DEWA?
DEWA stands for Dubai Electricity and Water Authority. It is the regulatory authority in Dubai responsible for providing electricity and water services and enforcing relevant regulations to maintain a safe and healthy environment. This public utility sector also approves construction and renovation projects in commercial and residential areas of Dubai.
DEWA was established on January 1, 1992, and since then, it has provided many technological advancements, such as energy generation, smart home solutions, and big data management. Over 10,000 employees work under DEWA and serve more than 2 million people with water and electricity connections. DEWA’s electricity generation capacity is 13,300 MW, and it produces 490 million gallons of desalinated water per day.
Understanding the Significance of DEWA Approvals
Dubia Electricity and Water Authority approvals are a vital requirement for any construction or renovation project in Dubai. These approvals ensure that the project complies with the standards and regulations set by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority. Without this approval, the project may face legal and operational challenges, including delays, fines, or even shutdowns. Therefore, it is crucial to obtain approvals from DEWA to proceed smoothly with your commercial project.
